Boxed Out: The Untold Story of the Eastern Professional Basketball League

Boxed Out: The Untold Story of the Eastern Professional Basketball League is a compelling 90-minute feature documentary that tells the rich and litlle-known story of the Eastern Professional Basketball League (EBL). The EBL was the second-best pro basketball league in the U.S. during the 1950s and early ‘60s, when the NBA was still in its infancy, mostly white, and struggling to get established.

Unlike any other sports documentary, Boxed Out brings to life the stories of the EBL's players, coaches, and fans, offering a unique window into an era when basketball was more than a game—it was a movement that transcended racial barriers and set the stage for the modern NBA. It traces the league's evolution, from its role as a haven for players sidelined by the NBA's racial and scandal-related restrictions to its legacy as a trailblazer in sports integration and innovation. Featuring personal stories from icons such as Jim Boeheim, Ray Scott, and the late John Chaney as well as little-known league legends and fans, Boxed Out weaves a rich tapestry of struggle, triumph, and the unbreakable spirit of those who lived it.

Join us in bringing the hidden history of the EBL and its heroes to the global stage. Boxed Out is an homage to the game and to those overlooked players who paved the way for the game we love today.
